Ohio Vote Certified

President George Bush was certified today as the winner in last month's election. Officially, Bush received 2.86 million votes to John Kerry's 2.74 million votes. The election margin was insufficient to trigger an automatic recount, however, opponents are attempting to use the courts to require a recount in all 88 counties.

Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell stated there were some isolated glitches in the election process, but nothing significant enough to change the results.
